We, of Ginny & the Bridge Burners, would love to tell you all about our most humble of beginnings. Unfortunately, We of Ginny and the Bridge Burners are very, very, rarely humble. Half of the band met the way most wayward artist boys in an overly monied town do, kindred, broke, and scrounging for drugs. The rest of us fell into step along the way, one inebriated vocalist stumbling vaguely in the direction of a childhood dream, and one childish. Lo! We of Ginny and the Bridge Burners were not so much born, as smooshed together by vicissitude and a mutual appreciation for melodious hijinks.

Beth Preston

Born in Whittier, California in 1982 to passionately musical parents, she started playing guitar and piano at a young age, and migrating down the coast to Northern San Diego County where she would do most of her growing up, she found great influence in the pulse and beauty of her environment. A migration to the rocky mountains in her young adulthood would bring her to new depths of herself, and new spirit and sound to her songs. Now living in Boulder, Colorado, she has found a great passion for connection and healing of the human heart, which has inspired the wind under the wings of her music. Melodic, magical, emotionally moving, with unexpected funk and fire the music of Beth Preston continues to expand in its captivating soulful undercurrent.

Brandon Love

I often find myself thumping piano keys, clapping, snapping, and slapping anything that makes for a good rhythm, singing, playing didgeridoo, melodica, jaw harp, nose flute, and after a long endeavor of producing strange sounds with my mouth (usually by myself in my car, to avoid annoying the hell out of someone) I discovered that I wasn't actually a complete lunatic blubbering at the mouth, but rather practicing the strange art of "beat-boxing". Collaborating sounds with others is one of the most joyful, fulfilling, and healing experiences that I know of. And through making music together, we can all feel a bit more justified in our bizarre fetish of playing with a montage of different toys that send tantalizing vibrations into our ear holes.
